Chapter 14

My words were loud and clear, and I didn’t show any fear. The three members of the research team didn’t expect me to say something like that. They instantly fell silent.

The way they looked at me was as if they were looking at an idiot, full of contempt.

“..”

“You’re hilarious.”

The first to speak was Luo Yan.

She laughed and shook her head. Her tone was still as disdainful as ever as she said, “If you can produce a paper that I’m satisfied with, I’ll definitely agree to let you join the research group.”

After Luo Yan finished speaking, Shen Tao said, “In three days, even if you can write an ordinary-level thesis, we’ll agree!”

“Yes, I think it’s feasible.” Lin Hai was unusually serious. “Lin Luo, it’s the same as before. Don’t disappoint me.”

Lin Hai must be praying for a miracle now to prove his judgment in choosing his team members, even if the possibility of a miracle happening was very low.

However, Lin Hai didn’t know that with the system, creating miracles was a normal thing for me!

..

I took out the USB, turned on the computer, and inserted the USB. My movements were as smooth as flowing water, without the slightest pause or hesitation.

“Tsk!” Shen Tao sneered. “You’re pretending to be calm, but you’re actually panicking.”

“No matter how much you struggle, it’s useless. Lin Luo, why don’t you tell us directly? You. Can. Not. Do. It.”

Luo Yan spoke the last few words with a pause.

You still want to use words to humiliate me and pin me on the stand of shame? Tsk tsk. I ignored their mockery and focused on opening the document.

Due to the research team’s limited funds, the computers they used were old, and it was common for them to lag. The thesis was rich in content, and when I opened the file, it took so long that I couldn’t even read it yet.

“Luo Yan, Shen Tao, don’t talk nonsense,” While waiting, Lin Hai finally couldn’t help but say, “Even if Lin Luo didn’t write his thesis well, you can’t humiliate him, right? We’re all classmates.”

“Ha.” Luo Yan rolled her eyes and said, “If he doesn’t know how to do it, just say he doesn’t know how to do it. We’re not forcing him to do it. But he’s wasted three days to finish his thesis. It’s a waste of time. Our time is precious, okay?”

“That’s right,” Shen Tao said. “If we don’t have a thesis for the final exam, we’ll fail.”

When it came to not passing, Shen Tao became even more irritated.

“You don’t know how to write, but you don’t learn. You want to recruit new members, but you don’t trust them. You’re so sarcastic.” I suddenly said, “You guys are just messing around.”

I supported my chin with one hand and cast a sidelong glance at the members of the research group with a smile in my eyes. However, there was a hint of coldness in my smile. I just stared at them.

Shen Tao was the first to be defeated. He unconsciously looked away from me and said, “You’re talking nonsense.”

“I’m not talking nonsense. You guys know in your hearts.” I didn’t hold it in.

After a long time, Luo Yan finally managed to squeeze out some words. She said angrily, “Lin Luo, if you don’t write your thesis properly, do you think it’s reasonable?”

“Have you read my thesis?” I continued. “You haven’t read it yet, but you’re so sure that my thesis isn’t good. Who gave you that confidence?”

Luo Yan was completely speechless. I continued, “Besides, if you think you’re good, you can just write your thesis. Why did you have to recruit new members?”

The continuous barrage of verbal attacks made Luo Yan and Shen Tao, who were extremely obnoxious just now, completely speechless. They didn’t know how to refute me, so they vented their anger on Lin Hai.

“Lin Hai, is this the new member you found?” Luo Yan crossed her arms and coldly said to Lin Hai.

“You can’t even say he’s bad? Your taste is really bad.” Shen Tao said to Luo Yan.

He really hit wherever Luo Yan pointed, completely without any principles.

“You guys?” Lin Hai frowned. “I’m not the one who wants to say this, but are you guys done?”

He finally exploded. “You guys just don’t stop yapping. Why don’t I see you guys being so good at talking when we’re talking about HIV? You’re quite powerful now.”

Lin Hai was honest and didn’t have any bad intentions, but if Luo Yan and Shen Tao provoked an honest person, Lin Hai would also rise up and resist. I watched this farce with curved eyes.

“You’re helping him?” Luo Yan looked at Lin Hai in disbelief.

After taking a deep breath, Lin Hai started to attack.

“What do you mean I’m speaking up for Lin Luo? You’re the ones who went overboard!”

“Lin Luo is right. Even I should reflect on what I just said. We haven’t even seen his research paper, and we’re already making irresponsible remarks about him. If you were the one being pointed at, would you be happy?”

“If you want to read the research paper, then read it with ease. Don’t mock me. Who gave you a sense of superiority?”

I raised my eyebrows, thinking, “I usually think that Lin Hai is simple and honest, but when it comes to verbal spars, he can handle two people on his own.” After Lin Hai said that, Luo Yan and Shen Tao were silent at first, but then they burst out with strong dissatisfaction.

“Lin Hai, we’ve long wanted to leave this lousy research group! If you and Lin Luo don’t apologize to us now, we’ll leave the research group immediately!”

Amazing, she was really amazing. I almost gave Luo Yan the Best Villain Award.

“I agree with Sister Yan.” Shen Tao also echoed.

“You guys!” Lin Hai was so angry that his face and ears turned red. He wanted to scold back, but then he fell silent again.

He knew that the research group was not stable to begin with, and if Luo Yan and Shen Tao left now, their research group would definitely be disbanded, not to mention the final exam results.

I also guessed that Luo Yan and Shen Tao said they were leaving to scare Lin Hai and make him apologize. After all, they had nowhere to go after leaving the research group.

Tsk, good job. Since that’s the case, I’ll just go with the flow and continue with Luo Yan and Shen Tao’s words.

“Who do you think you are?” I replied nonchalantly, “The research team can still succeed with or without you guys. Is there any meaning in threatening Lin Hai with leaving? If you’re leaving, then hurry up and leave. Don’t take up space.”

While Luo Yan and Shen Tao were stunned, I said to Lin Hai, “Lin Hai, you’re going to let them threaten you? Don’t you feel aggrieved? If you have a backbone, let them go. I’ll take you to the path of success!”

“I actually don’t have any bones.”

“Good! I’ll take it that you’ve agreed for them to leave.”

Lin Hai was about to say that he had no backbone when I interrupted him.

I raised my eyebrows and looked at Luo Yan and Shen Tao with a strong sense of provocation. I stood there as if to say: Leave the research group if you can. I’ll wait and see.

“Good, well done. Lin Hai, Lin Luo, you’re both good.” Luo Yan was so angry that she was gasping for air. “Shen Tao and I will leave the research group. I’d like to see what other tricks you have up your sleeves.”

As soon as she finished speaking, my file was loaded. Luo Yan didn’t look at it, but Shen Tao looked at it curiously. With just one look, he was extremely shocked.

Shen Tao pulled on Luo Yan’s clothes and whispered, “Sister Yan, look at Lin Luo’s thesis. It’s actually not bad.”

Before the word fully came out of his mouth, Luo Yan glared at Shen Tao.

“Which side are you from? He is a liberal arts student! How good could he be? Have you been deceived by him? No matter how good it is, it’s because the materials we’ve researched are suitable!”

After saying that, Luo Yan gave Shen Tao the chance to make a choice, “Are you leaving or not?”

“I’m leaving!” After a moment of silence, Shen Tao decided to leave with Luo Yan.

“If you leave, don’t come back.” I laughed.

“It’s easy to leave, but hard to come back. I hope you all…

“…Don’t regret it.”
